Decision criteria matrix

Activities

• Activity 4: Assessing and selecting the solution concept

Description

With the decision criteria matrix, several alternative solutions are compared and analysed with regard to their degree of fulfilment of several decision criteria. The decision criteria can be considered unweighted or weighted, and the degree of fulfilment is assessed either on a scale of 1 to 10 or with school grades 1 to 6. The assessment of the individual criteria (in the weighted approach) with their weightings is offset and totalled for each solution alternative. In this way, the alternative solutions are ranked. The central difference between the decision criteria matrix and the (weighted) point evaluation is the evaluation scale used.

Possibilities for support

• Provision of process potentials in order to better assess the degree of fulfilment of the evaluation criteria

Procedure

1. Selection of evaluation criteria for evaluating the solution concepts
2. Weighting of the evaluation criteria if required
3. Assess the degree of fulfilment of the individual evaluation criteria for each solution concept
4. Calculate the degree of fulfilment with the corresponding criteria weights and add them up for the solution concepts
5. Put solution concepts in order
